Under the terms of agreement, Ampere Vehicles will provide electric scooters for last-mile delivery purposes in Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Pune and Delhi NCR. Bigbasket operates fleets of delivery teams across 26 cities of India to cater to over 2.5 lakh customer orders a day.
P Sanjeev, Chief Operating Officer, Ampere Vehicles, said, “As Ampere is expanding its EV network in India, we aim to foster EV growth and adoption across B2B businesses which can cut down the operation cost thus helping them gain competitive advantage. Our range of reliable electric scooters suits all types of riders and are an economical option for personal and commercial use.”
KB Nagaraju, Chief Customer Experience Officer, Bigbasket, “In September last year, we had intended to expand our fleet of EV 2W by at least 10 times within a span of one year. This partnership with Ampere is in that direction of going green and the EV fleet makes a business case for us in terms of lowered costs and stronger social capital built through our sustainable practice. We were one of the first companies in India to use EV for last mile delivery operations way back in 2016 and as we step into a new decade, EVs will be a critical part of our logistics plan.”
